Orchard Road Christmas

Have You Heard??!!?? Its snowing in Singapore!!!

See??!!??

But it doesn't look cold ya??...

Ok Ok... Its just foam...

Its part of the attraction in Tanglin Mall near Orchard Road. They have it every year during Christmas season.

Moments before the "snow" comes, kids gathered around the area, some were wearing rain coat, some in swimming costume. All prepared to have a good time of "Foam Party".

Isabel doesn't want to join in at first, but later could not resist the bubbles.

Kids love bubbles and foam. There must be at least a hundred kids playing in the foam. It reminds me of the scene in Happy Feet, where the baby penguins and their parents always able to find each other in the crowd.

This is my dear sister with Isabel. Isabel looks a lot like her. That's where she gets her good looks.

For this season, the new attraction in Orchard Road is the Christmas Nativity Village, it tells the story of Christmas. As you walk along, you'll see people dressed in costume of ancient time, you'll feel you are back in time to wittness the birth of Christ.

Starting from the 3 wise men following the star to the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus was born. Here the wise men are not that rich, they were holding donation boxes and asking for donations. But that has nothing to do with the story.

They are using real horns as trumpets, it sounds very nice.

These 2 are pretending to be Princesses standing in front of their castle.

Beside the story telling, there are many performers like this group of students from Dunman High playing Christmas music along the road. I must say they are very good.

The senior citizen not wanting to let the youngster to hog the lime light, came and joined the fun in street busking. They got their Er-hu and guitars forming a band of oldies.

This young girl from Philippine has a FANTASTIC voice. God has given her a powerful, clear and beautiful voice, instead of becoming a pop singer, she chose to sing only to praise and worship God, how wonderful.

Well, Christmas is near, have you done your shopping yet?
